Christ not a Lawgiver.

In the Christian Union, of Aug. 21, 1878, is an article headed, “Christ a Teacher, not a Lawgiver,” in which we find the following statements of plain facts, which we commend to the attention of those who claim that there is no lawgiver but Christ, and no law but the gospel:—
“Christ is not a lawgiver, but a teacher. He does not lay down principles of action, but points them out to us as already existing. He does not make, but interprets law. He never made anything to be right and wrong, but told us what is right and wrong.”
Whoever will read the New Testament record of the sayings and doings of Christ with especial reference to this subject, cannot fail to see the entire truthfulness of these statements.
